Reliant President Jason Few has left the company

Jason Few, who’s served as president of Reliant Energy since May 2009, has left the company. Few’s last day was Friday, and his departure was announced to employees in an internal memo. Reliant spokeswoman Pat Hammond confirmed Few had left, but offered no explanation for the abrupt exit.

Few’s duties will be split among two other senior executives, Elizabeth Killinger, senior vice president for residential and operations, who will become Reliant’s president, and Tom Gros, who handles major account sales, who will take over as president of NRG Solutions and chief customer officer, Hammond said.

Hammond said Few’s departure is unrelated to NRG’s merger with Houston-based GenOn Energy, a $1.7 billion deal that will make NRG the country’s largest independent power producer. While NRG has told its employees that there will be some “synergies” that result from the merger, it hasn’t announced any job cuts so far. GenOn, meanwhile, is eliminating 15 jobs, according to a notice filed earlier this month with the Texas Workforce Commission.
